Abstract

DIAZ, Ramón A. Dynamic in generation and quality of employment and its distribution by branches of activity, in Santiago del Estero-La Banda, 2003-2010. Trab. soc. [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.131-145. ISSN 1514-6871.

The changes of economic orientation that followed the 2001-02 crisis implied impacts on the levels of activity and employment in the urban areas of the country which have been conditioned by preexisting structural factors that determined the transmission channels of the economic expansion initiated in 2003, on each area covered by the Permanent Household Survey (INDEC-EPH). The objectives of this paper were: to quantify the dynamics of the evolution of employment in the Santiago-La Banda area throughout the cycle from a comparative perspective with regard to the rest of the country; to give dimensions to the problem of employment quality alongside the formality-informality axis; and to consider how the jobs created were distributed among the branches of economic activity throughout the 2003-10 period. The results that were obtained in the work show that the quantitative achievements until 2008 revealed to be transitory and very sensitive to the phases of the economic cycle, and that the problem of jobs quality was aggravated in spite of a certain diminution coincident with that observed in total employment, all of which was related to the dominant role of the branches of Trade and Construction within the total variation of employment levels in the area studied.
